My first effort:

Like Watching Paint Dry:
This is my mother's apartment wall and door frame... all of it is the same colour (a white variant). I did like the tonal shifts of each plane, and as I was using Nik Collection Silver FX for the black and white conversion, this frame popped up in an option... which I would usually avoid... but the black line blended in with the door frame line so well I decided to keep it in.
I do think there is a certain amount of tension in the composition - but I did have some feedback that this was a boring photo... hence the title!

The water drop IS a lot more dynamic! Although the biggest challenge with that photo was cleaning up all of the crap left by the dirty senor (I must get around to cleaning all the school cameras!)

I do like the water drop. The soft ripples and the reflection of the droplet (I guess you would all it) are really nice. I will endeavour to look at both of your links when I get the chance. I would like to have a go at this style of photography.

Beautifully done, Anthony. I love the light that hits the ripples from behind.

I feel this truly meet the challenge. Nice work!
